DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a plate-like article storage case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the above-mentioned plate-like article storage case, for example, a chip-like polarizing film as a plate-like article is stacked and stored.

Conventionally, the above-mentioned plate-like article storage case has been provided with a rectangular container-like case body in which the entire inside is a single plate-like article storage space, and a lid for the case body.

[0004] Then, the film laminate is accommodated in the case body of the plate-like article storage case and the lid is covered, and the plurality of plate-like article storage cases accommodating the film laminate are accommodated in a transport box and transported. I was

[0005]

According to the above-mentioned conventional construction, since the entire inside of the case body of the plate-shaped article storage case is a single plate-shaped article storage space, the inside of the case body is a film laminate. If it is not full, the case body must be filled with padding such as cushioning material to avoid rattling of the film laminate during transportation.

As a result, in the conventional configuration, there is a problem that the packing material (that is, the cushion material) is costly, and a problem that the cushion material comes out as waste after unpacking, which is not preferable in terms of environmental protection. Was.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of packing while making it possible to pack a plate-shaped article so that it is less likely to rattle and less likely to receive an impact. It is an advantage that the cost can be reduced, and furthermore, it is possible to suppress the waste from being released after unpacking, thereby suppressing the deterioration of the environment.

[0008]

The constitution, operation and effect of the invention according to claim 1 are as follows. [Configuration] A predetermined number of rectangular case-shaped case bodies having an open upper side, a guide groove extending along the longitudinal direction of the side plates on the inner wall sides of a pair of opposed side plates on the case body side, and partitioning the inside of the case body. The guided portions provided at both ends of the partition wall are individually fitted in the guide grooves so as to be slidably movable, thereby forming a plurality of plate-shaped article accommodating spaces whose sizes can be changed and adjusted, and In a state where the plate-shaped articles are stored in the storage space, partition wall fixing means for pressing the partition wall group in a direction in which the partition walls are arranged and fixing the partition wall group to the case body is provided, and the guided portion includes the partition wall. The fitting body accommodating hole provided at the end of the guide groove, while accommodating the fitting body to the guide groove so as to be retractable toward the side plate side, and provided with biasing means for projecting and biasing the fitting body, The fitting body against the side plate To form a cam surface, said partition wall are detachably composed outer side of the opening in the case body.

[A] [B] The plate-like articles are individually accommodated in a plurality of plate-like article accommodation spaces, and the partition wall group is pressed by the partition wall fixing means in the direction in which the partition walls are arranged.

With this pressing, the guided portions of the partition walls slide in the guide grooves of the side plate on the case body side, and the partition wall group is compressed. Thereby, the partition wall group can be fixed to the case body.

[B] Since the partition wall group is fixed to the case body as described above, rattling of the plate-like article in the case body can be suppressed. In addition, since the sizes of the plurality of plate-like article storage spaces are freely changeable and adjustable, it is possible to accommodate a plurality of sizes of plate-like articles.

[C] For example, as a means for slidingly moving each partition wall as described above, a slide guide portion having an elongated through hole shape is formed on the pair of side plates along a direction in which the partition walls are arranged. In a structure in which guided portions that are slid and guided in a state of being inserted into the partition wall are provided at both ends of the partition wall, dust or the like enters the case body from the lateral outer side of the elongated hole-shaped slide guide portion and is formed in a plate shape. There is also a problem that the article is easily stained or damaged.

On the other hand, according to the configuration of the first aspect, the guided portions at both ends of the partition wall are individually fitted into the guide grooves on the inner wall side of the side plate, and the guided portions are slid. Therefore, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering the case main body from the lateral outer side of the side plate, and to solve the above-described problem. Furthermore, there is no projecting object (in the case of the above example, a guided portion of the partition plate side projecting laterally outward of the side plate from the elongated hole-shaped slide guide portion) projecting laterally outward of the pair of side plates. In addition, it is possible to prevent the structure on the lateral outer side of the side plate from becoming complicated.

[4] For example, when a plate-like article is a polarizing film, and a film laminate in which a plurality of polarizing films are stacked is accommodated in a plate-like article accommodating space and transported from a factory to a customer, a case is required. The inside of the main body is not filled with plate-like articles, and only one or several other plate-like article storage spaces are left in one or several plate-like article storage spaces out of all the plate-like article storage spaces. Although goods may be transported in a housed state, since each partition wall is allowed to move close to and away from each other,
In the case as described above, a pressing force is applied to the plate-shaped article by overlapping a partition wall having no plate-shaped article on the outer side of both wall faces with an adjacent partition wall by pressing by the partition wall fixing means. Can be.

That is, when the inside of the case main body is not filled with the plate-like articles, it is possible to avoid the rattling of the plate-like articles without using the means for packing the padding such as the cushioning material into the case main body.

[E] The above operations [A], [B], and [D] eliminate the need for padding such as cushioning material to be packed in the plate-shaped article storage case.

[F] Since the guided portion is configured as described above, when the partition wall is fitted and moved from the outside of the opening of the case body to the case body side, the partition wall starts to move from the end of the partition wall. When the cam surface of the protruding fitting body is pushed by the side plate and retreats to the inside of the partition wall against the biasing force of the biasing means, and is still fitted and moved, the fitting body is moved into the guide groove. Projecting to the side by the urging force and fitted into the guide groove.

To mount the partition wall on the case main body, it is only necessary to fit the partition wall into the case main body from the outside of the opening of the case main body as described above, and to move the partition wall.
The work of mounting the partition wall can be easily performed.

When removing the partition wall from the case body, the partition wall is pulled out toward the outside of the opening of the case body. With this pulling, the fitting body moves in the opposite direction to the above, and is removed from the case body.

For example, when cleaning the inside of the case body,
Removing the partition wall from the case body and cleaning it makes cleaning easier. In this case, since it is only necessary to pull out the partition wall as described above, the work of removing the partition wall from the case body can be easily performed.

Further, by increasing or decreasing the number of partition walls, it is possible to increase or decrease the number of plate-like article accommodation spaces, and to accommodate accommodation of plate-like articles of a larger size.

[G] The plate-like article storage case, in which the plate-like articles are stored as described above, is stored in, for example, a predetermined transport box and transported.

[Effect] Therefore, the packing cost can be reduced while the plate-shaped article can be packaged so that it does not rattle during transportation and is hardly subject to impact. It is possible to reduce the amount of waste generated after the waste as much as possible, to suppress the deterioration of the environment, and to prevent dirt and damage to the plate-like article, and to suppress the reduction in the commercial value of the plate-like article. It was possible to provide a plate-like article storage case that was simple and easy to attach and detach the partition wall to and from the case body, and was excellent in handleability.

Further, since it is possible to accommodate a plurality of sizes of plate-like articles, it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of types of plate-like article storage cases for each size of the plate-like articles. An increase in the number of types of cases can be avoided, and management of the plate-like article storage case has been simplified.

The structure, operation and effect of the invention according to claim 2 are as follows.

[Structure] In the structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, the partition wall fixing means is provided with an urging mechanism for urging the partition wall group.

[Operation] In addition to providing the same operation as the operation according to the first aspect, the partition wall fixing means is constituted by the above-mentioned urging mechanism. The partition wall group containing the plate-like articles can be more reliably fixed to the case body.

[Effects] Therefore, the same effects as those of the first aspect can be more easily obtained.

The structure, operation and effect of the invention according to claim 3 are as follows.

[0030] In the configuration of the invention according to claim 1 or 2, the plate-like article is pressed in a direction along a wall surface of the partition wall and fixed to the case body in the plate-like article storage space. A plate-like article fixing means is provided.

[Operation] In addition to the same effect as the operation according to the configuration of the first or second aspect, in addition to the above-mentioned operation, the plate-like article is moved in the plate-like article accommodating space in the direction along the wall surface of the partition wall. Since the plate-shaped article fixing means for pressing and fixing to the case body is provided, for example, when the plate-shaped articles are stacked in the direction along the partition wall and stored in the plate-shaped article storage space, Even when the accommodation space is not filled with the plate-shaped articles, the plate-shaped articles are less likely to rattle.

[Effect] Therefore, the same effect as the effect of the first or second aspect can be easily obtained.
